I was born into a design playground. A house filled with photocopiers and typesetting machines. Somewhere where coloured pencils, pens and paints were abundant, and if you played your cards right, you could get your hands on some Letraset.
As a child – creative, intelligent and inquisitive – I was rarely found without a pen, pencil or book in hand. Never was I without a question passing my lips.
Creativity has always made my day – from painting as a child to Photoshopping as a teen, to today, a professional graphic and communication designer on the cusp of graduation from Swinburne University of Technology, with Honours degree in hand.
If you know me already, you will know that I am political, outspoken and pernickety. If you don’t, I will tell you that I am eloquent, intellectual and forward-thinking.
I am interested in everything, because the world is fascinating. I draw inspiration from the seemingly commonplace. I believe that as a designer, it is one’s job to turn the ordinary into the extraordinary and the normal into the abnormal. Nothing is unremarkable in my eyes.
The idea of communication has always interested me – I relish the opportunity to tell stories through visual, verbal and written communication. For me, design is a creative outlet and a mode of expression.
My particular passions are design and art, good spelling and grammar, pop culture, and anyone who will converse with me on these subjects.
I can be found with my head in the sky or in a book, but never under a rock.
Here is my online folio website.
Here is the current version of my resumé.

Comment by Frits 17 August, 2008 @ 1:20 pmHey Frits, thanks for the comment. I’m glad I’m helping someone. Makes me feel like I might be on the right track.
Comment by nadia5307163 17 August, 2008 @ 1:26 pmI was actually very interested by your blog, in that I strongly related to some of the sentiments, like finding an affinity with ‘old’ technologies, however, not completely relating to the idea of not loving new things as equally.
Very interesting stuff, made me think!!!
Thanks Nadia, likewise!
Comment by Frits 17 August, 2008 @ 1:59 pmI probably need to revise my writing.. I think I was focussing too much on my disliking on new technologies, and not enough on the fact that I’m indifferent to new or old technologies in terms of serving a purpose; if an old technology serves as much purpose as a new one, and vice verse, then it’s all good..
